Whether it was business investments, status, or women, if he wanted it, if he fought for it, there wasn’t anything he couldn’t obtain!
But this time, he lost to Yu Zexiao, that Yu Zexiao whom he utterly looked down upon! It was simply, utterly unbearable for him!
Especially, he couldn’t believe that Jian Anning had, within just ten short days, turned from being fond of him and was so easily, deceivingly taken in by Yu Zexiao!
Just ten days, only ten short days! And before this, he had personally seen how Jian Anning’s feelings for Yu Zexiao shifted from initial fondness and care, to later disappointment, anger, and even to the point of a heart so broken it couldn’t feel anymore. He had every reason to believe that it was because of his involvement, his effort, that Yu Zexiao gradually lost his advantage and that Jian Anning let down her guard with him, even feeling that just a little more, a tiny bit more, and Jian Anning would completely fall in love with him!
This feeling, of watching someone gradually grow disgusted with Yu Zexiao and develop feelings for him, was so much more intense than the feeling of conquering another target!
And the most ludicrous thing was—
He thought he was the one who had "seduced" Jian Anning away from Yu Zexiao’s side, that he was watching them suffer.
But ironically, the first person to fall... was himself.
Time passed, minute by minute.
From the wee hours till dawn, as the first rays of sunlight rose, Situ Xuan was sitting in the car, having just finished reviewing the documents he had and the finer details of the latest bid proposal.
He lifted his wrist, checking the time. It was already half past five.
There was no more time to wait here. The meeting was set for ten in the morning, and even with the seven o’clock flight, he had to leave!
However, what he hadn’t anticipated was—
At this moment, he would see Jian Anning and Yu Zexiao returning together!
Yes, they weren’t returning alone. There was another man with them, someone he recognized as the president of the Ling Consortium, Ling Yichuan, also a good friend of Yu Zexiao’s.
So, last night, he had taken Jian Anning to a friend’s gathering?
Just as he was pondering, his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of their clothes, and his pupils shrank in an instant—
The clothes she was wearing were not the same ones she wore last night!
He remembered she had a small jacket on and a T-shirt with a large neckline underneath last night. The question was, if it was just a friend’s gathering—why would she need to change clothes?
Unless there was a situation that required taking off clothes!
Having to take off clothes, change clothes—that would mean—!
Just as he was about to make a move, he heard the laughter of Yu Zexiao and Ling Yichuan coming from over there!
Especially Yu Zexiao’s remark—"I’m absolutely faithful. With Anning, I definitely won’t look at other women!"
And Situ Xuan noticed that when he uttered this, Jian Anning didn’t exhibit the same shyness and yielding behavior she had before him; instead, her entire being was slightly smiling as she looked at him, her eyes full of affection!
It was that look! Just that look alone made Situ Xuan feel—she and Yu Zexiao had truly, genuinely made up!
